BBC - The Art of Watercolours (2011) Movies

Posted by Tutorial at Jan. 14, 2020

Watercolours have always been the poor relation of oil painting. And yet the immediacy and freedom of painting in watercolours have made them the art of adventure and action - even war.

BBC Legends - Rudolf Kempe, Edith Peinemann: Michael Tippett, Alban Berg, Leos Janacek (2007) Music

Posted by Designol at Sept. 17, 2024

With Kempe at the helm we can be assured of elevated and noble performances. The BBC Legends issue captures him in two concerts given four months apart.

This positively crackles with rhythmic energy and dynamism, the strings responding with admirable precision and unanimity of attack. The result is a performance of real standing and a precious surviving example of Kempe’s small repertoire of British works.
